We were told by friends that Costco Kirkland brand paper towels were equivalent to, or even higher performing than, Bounty paper towels.

These people are liars and needless to say, no longer our friends.

I bought $20 worth of Etsy cute rags instead of buying $20 worth of paper towels and napkins every month or so, I have had to add to them and subtract ones that didn't get coffeee rinsed out right away, demoted to "animal rags" that get washed with oxi clean by themselves,
I am pretty happy with the results. Some visitors don't get it but I get it at checkout when the big number is not as big.

Sometimes I need to have a paper towel to just throw the mess completely away, or check oil, but i think it has been pretty good to me. The #KochBrothers make a lot of money off of paper products and I don't want them to make a thin dime on anything, the web of manufacturers is so clouded I can't keep up.

(I use toilet paper for cleanup of serious pet messes, some of which are flushable, this place has enough cat pictures to be frank about the reality.)
